Free Flowing Football

That was a superb massive result for us. With a ref who was so whistle happy. 40 Fouls thats stopping the game every 2mins 15 secs just for fouls, add other stopages (Offsides, Throwins etc) it must have been so fustrating.

Can't understand how free-flowing football can occur with that sort of referee like you said but congrats all the same on a good result.

He did try to play the advantage, a fouls a foul, was a fair ref, thought a few bookings were harsh though.

Can't argue with the comment about advantage being played, he let the play continue as much as he could. Thought a few more playrs could have been booked to be honest, especially Tranmeres.

As for McAteer - lucky to stay on if you ask me. Started with Tommy and then tried to rag Hill. No wonder he was subsituted.

Edit: Also told the Atyeo to F'off on his way to the tunnel at half time. I think a steward actually pointed at him at the time. Somebody also said that apparently him and Tommy started in the tunnel as well. Whether that is true or not I don't know.

No, Tommy was booked at the same time as McAteer in the first half. Not 100% why though  :city:

Because he reacted to McAteer and we got the typical footballer's forehead standoff.

Matt Hill shouldn't have even got involved.

The way I saw it from directly above it, Tommy and McAteer should have both been sent off and Hill should have been booked. That said, Butler saw hardly anything of his "deliberate handball" that led to his harsh booking and Howarth was entitled to challenge for the ball and didn't even connect with Phillips for his booking.

Very inconsistent referee but I agree he did play the advantage rule better than most refs I've seen.

Fair play to phillips and another city player, who I can't remember, as they seemed to be talking to the Ref and were trying to persuade him that a booking wasn't necessary.

Did he book 6 of them? Thats the £2500 fine isn't it for what was never a dirty game.

As for McAteer, they were poorer without him but would never have finished the game with him!

01) I went for the idiot option.... Damn my non-betting

02) No, no I won't!  :rolleyes:

:city:

But this season is so much like Wilson's season last year. Maybe the play is different but it's freekily simular in form... Or am I wrong?

Nothing like it, last season we ground out results in a very boring fashion.

This season "entertainment" is much more to the fore. Already have 15 more goals and 3 more points than at the same stage last season.

1 Point + a Worse Goal Difference than QPR

Awww Robbo, I knew that mate, was hoping Rich would reply.

So, my line of this thread was going down the "so it's a bloody good point there Rich" route...

"Wow 3 whole points more

Point taken though!"

Indeed.

So shall we go back to where your promotion bid faltered? :city:

I can tell you... We were there to make up the numbers in the play-offs, although we were knocked out in the cruelest of ways... We were not good enough and if we were up there now we'd be in a worse state than Brighton.... and Rotherham infact!

I bet you're lot are say Christian who?

Well, you;re only as good as your last result. So we ain't doing too bad.
